Depression rates are dropping... but they're still nearly twice as high as they were pre-Covid

Depression rates are dropping... but they're still nearly twice as high as they were pre-Covid Rates of depression in Britain are starting to fall after shooting up during the Covid pandemic, official data shows.

The Office for National Statistics estimated that 10 per cent of adults in the UK were depressed before the virus first struck.

This more than doubled to a record 21 per cent last winter after two brutal waves of the epidemic and three lockdowns, with women and young people worst affected. The Daily Mail
